Objective To discuss and analyze the diagnosis,management and surgical techniques for cranioplasty of skull vault defects and skull base reconstruction in order to raise the therapeutic effect. Methods The clinical data of 169 cases of skull vault and skull base defects treated with cranioplasty of skull vault defect and skull base reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed.Results Overlay tech- nique or inlay technique with imported titanium alloy mesh was used in 160 cases,and homologous bone was used in 9 cases.The surgical time ranged from 3 months to 8 years after injury.Eight cases presented with complications such as hematoma,subcutaneous effusion,infection and epilepsy postoperatively,but no operative death occurred.Conclusion For patients with skull vault defect with the diameter≥3 cm the best operative time is 3 months after injury,and for patients with intracranial and extracranial communica- ting tumors,skull base reconstruction can be performed when tumors are removed.Much attention should be paid to perioperative management and surgical skills.

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD)in children is a type of diarrhea that occurs after the use of antibiotics in children,and its pathogenesis is closely related to the intestinal flora.The medication of antibiotics can affect the metabolic function of the intestinal flora and the immune function of the body,and then leads to the occurrence of AAD.In the view of Chinese medicine,AAD in children is mainly involved the spleen,and the etiology of the disease is due to the weakness of the spleen and stomach of the body constitution together with the attack of the pestilential pathogen and the accumulation of drug toxin.The pathogenesis of ADD in children is characterized by spleen deficiency with predominant dampness,deficiency of spleen qi,and insufficiency of spleen yang.Spleen deficiency is the root cause of pediatric AAD,and spleen and intestinal flora have commonality,so the treatment of pediatric AAD can be performed from the perspective of the spleen.The treatment of pediatric ADD from the spleen follows the principle of strengthening and activating the spleen,and the regulation of the spleen for achieving the purpose of treating the disease from the root can be achieved by the methods of strengthening spleen and draining dampness,strengthening spleen and replenishing qi,and strengthening spleen and warming yang separately with the fundamental prescriptions of Shenlin Baizhu Powder,Sijunzi Decoction,and Fuzi Lizhong Pills.

The longitudinal study sought to examine the dynamic development of cognitive skills for reading among elementary-level students in Mainland China.Two groups of students in first (n=164,mean age=6.65 years at first test) and second grade (n=202,mean age=7.73 years at first test) were followed on orthographic awareness,morphological awareness and rapid automatized naming (RAN) for two years.The children exhibited significant improvement in orthographic awareness,morphological awareness and RAN from grades 1 to 4.More importantly,to the orthographic and morphological awareness,while the children took a leap from grade 1 to 2 and grade 3 to 4,the progress developed at relatively slow rates from grade 2 to 3.In order to assure children's development of orthographic and morphological awareness,evidence-based orthographically and morphologically enhanced instruction is needed for Chinese children in the early elementary years,especially for those at the stage from grade 2 to 3.

Objective: A new type of molecular probe design method was established to improve the sensitivity and specificity of microRNA detection. Methods: This is an experimental study. The target hybridization sequence was designed on the stem side of the molecular beacon using the strand displacement principle and based on this, a new probe was designed by using the nucleic acid structure analysis software DNAman to optimize the secondary structure of the molecular probe, which was called as strand displacement molecular probe (MB-D) and MB-D plus. Taking microRNA-21 as an example, microRNA-21 and its related single nucleotide mutations were detected using conventional molecular probe (MB-C) and redesigned MBs (MB-D and MB-D plus) to analyze the differences on minimum detection limit, repeatability and specificity for microRNA detection among these three probes. Results: The minimum detection limit of MB-C for microRNA-21 was 1 nmol/L, and the minimum detection limits for MB-D and MB-D plus were 0.1 nmol/L and 0.01 nmol/L, respectively. The established MB-D plus can significantly distinguish between miR-21 and single nucleotide mutations. Conclusion The molecular probe based on the principle of strand displacement and optimized by secondary structure can significantly increase the sensitivity and specificity of the probe for microRNA detection.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 541-546)

OBJECTIVESTo investigate if there is altered microRNAs (miRNAs) expression in aortic dissection (Debakey Type A) and normal aorta tissue.

METHODSTotal RNA was exacted from aorta of 5 patients with aortic dissection (AD) and four patients without aortic diseases (NA). miRNAs of the aortic tissues were analyzed by miRNA microarray. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to verify the expression of miRNAs in larger sample size (AD = 11 and NA = 9).

RESULTShsa-miR-146b-5p_st, hsa-miR-19a_st and hsa-miR-505_st were significantly upregulated while hsa-miR-1268_st and hsa-miR-939_st were significantly downregulated [fold change > 2, q-value (%) ≤ 5] in AD group compared with NA group. RT-PCR verified hsa-miR-146b-5p_st miRNAs change in AD group.

CONCLUSIONSAltered miRNAs expression might play an essential role in the pathogenesis of aortic dissection formation and hsa-miR-146b-5p_st might serve as a new diagnosis biomarker of aortic dissection.

OBJECTIVETraditional detection approaches for non-O157 STEC are both time and labour consuming in diseases surveillance. Virulence genes detection based on multiplex PCR could not only improve the detection efficiency but also increase the accuracy.

METHODSSix virulence genes of non-O157:H7 (stx1, stx2, eae, hly, etpD, katP6) were detected by two groups of trebling PCRs. The multiplex PCRs were optimized by melting curve analysis in SYBR Green I real-time PCR. Testing result of multiplex PCR was consistent with serological testing.

RESULTSThe sensitivity limits of the multiplex PCR for stx1, stx2, eaeP, etpD, katP, and hly were 10 ng/ml, 120 ng/ml, 110 ng/ml,165 ng/ml, 85 ng/ml, and 15 ng/ml, respectively, which is similar with that of single PCR. When the multiplex PCR was applied in 120 adults and 90 children diarrhea samples detection, 13 cases were detected for non-O157 positive.

CONCLUSIONThe method we established can be used for non-O157 STEC virulence genes detection and screening with high efficiency and accuracy.

OBJECTIVETo compare the sensitivities of MALDI-TOF MS and direct PCR sequencing on gene mutations detection of hepatitis B virus.

METHODS100 serum samples from chronic hepatitis B patients were collected, which consisted of 90 serum samples (study group) from 90 chronic hepatitis B patients received nucleoside analogues (NA) therapy for more than 1 year and HBV DNA titer still higher than 500 copies/ml and 10 serum samples (blank group) from 10 chronic hepatitis B patients never treated with antiviral therapy and HBV-DNA titer higher than 1 x 10(5) copies/ml. 9 known mutations associated with HBV P gene in these samples were detected by MALDI-TOF MS and direct PCR sequencing at the same time, TYPE4.0 software and Sequence Navigator software were used to analyze the results separately.

RESULTS(1) In study group, mutations were detected in 53 samples and the total mutation sites were 86 by MALDI-TOF MS with a positive detection rate of 58.89%, whereas only 19 samples were found with mutations and totally 28 mutation sites were detected by direct PCR sequencing, the positive detection rate was 21.11%. The positive detection rate by MALDI-TOF MS was higher than that by direct PCR sequencing and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In blank group, no mutations were detected by any method. (2) In study group, when the HBV DNA titers were at 500-1000 copies/ml, 10(3)-10(4) copies/ml and 10(4)-10(5) copies/ml, the positive mutation detection rates by MALDI-TOF MS were 50%, 52.08% and 77.27% respectively, higher than that by direct PCR sequencing, which were only 0%, 8.33% and 45.45%. The difference was still statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSMALDI-TOF MS had higher detection sensitivity for known mutation sites as compared to direct PCR sequencing method.
